Scarface LD or 4k

Author

I was thinking about the getting either the 93 Letterbox LD or the 4k Blu ray whats the pros and cons of both

im conflicted

Does the 93 LD have a good picture or is it bad like ive seen reviews of the 98 DVD which my parents have

The 4K ive seen good reviews for sure so im leaning towards that but idk

The 1993 Laserdisc was sourced from the negative, as was the UHD. In terms of image quality, the UHD beats it for sure. Not sure about color though.

For its Ultra HD Blu-ray release, Universal remastered Scarface from the original 35mm film elements, and Its presentation in Ultra HD appears to be derived from the 4K Digital Intermediate.

Have you seen the 93 LD

But then ive seen they said the 98 DVD is sourced from the same master as the 93 LD so I was afraid maybe the same would be said

I haven’t seen the 93 LD. The LDDB said it was high quality though. I can’t confirm if the 98 DVD is the same version.
